Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 ripe banana -- peeled

1 cup dark brown sugar

1 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons molasses

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate -- broken in pieces

pinch salt

3/4 cup milk

1/2 cup ground pecans

3 tablespoons unsalted butter -- in pieces

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

In a large, heavy saucepan, mash the banana with the back of a fork or wooden

spoon. Add the sugars, molasses, chocolate, salt, and milk. Place over

medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts, about 3

minutes. Cover with a lid and heat until the mixture comes to a full boil,

about 1 more minute.

Uncover and cook, still at a boil, until the mixture becomes shiny and thick,

about 4 minutes, stirring often. When the fudge is ready, it will register 236

to 240 degrees on a candy thermometer. (Or a small amount of fudge dropped into

a glass of cold water will form a soft, solid wad on the bottom of the glass.)

Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans.

Place the butter on the fudge and set aside to cool. When the fudge has become

tepid, about 20 minutes, add the vanilla and stir until the fudge starts to

firm. While still pourable, scrape into a loaf pan and set aside until the

fudge is firm. Cut into 36 squares..
